At AdGreen we motivate the advertising industry to reduce the negative environmental impacts of production, and enable the community to measure and understand waste and carbon emissions.

We don’t consult on individual productions, we focus on the bigger picture, providing sustainability training, the carbon calculator, and reduction resources for everyone to access in order to accelerate change.

The levy enables us to provide these free, resulting in a carbon-literate workforce adept at producing content on a reduced carbon budget.

We also analyse the carbon calculator’s dataset to assess where infrastructure projects can support a faster shift to net-zero – and then work with biggest suppliers (transport, studios, generators, equipment) to make this possible.

The AdGreen Levy

The AdGreen Levy is a recommended 0.25% of the cost to produce an advertising asset – that’s just £2.50 per £1,000 spent, and is capped at £2,500 per production.

The levy is paid to those producing work for the advertiser in the UK, and then passed onto AdGreen to enable us to continue supporting the UK advertising industry in reducing emissions from production.

There are a number of templates available on our resources hub page to support levy collection.
